Victor Courtray
Victor Courtray was born in 1896, grew up during the 1900s and 1910s and was influenced by the artistic culture of the time. The dynamic development of pictorial art defined the first decades of the twentieth century. It was an era of experimentation and post-Impressionism, with artists first delving into Expressionism and Abstraction. A variety of collectives and communities of artists across the world evolved different ways of articulating these crucial innovations.
